Platanthera stenochila is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native from east Nepal through the eastern Himalayas of India to south-central China (north-west Yunnan). [1]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1896, as Herminium angustilabre. It was later placed in either the genus Monorchis or the genus Androcorys, [1] both now included in Herminium . A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 found that it was deeply embedded in a clade of Platanthera species, and so transferred it to that genus as Platanthera angustilabris(King & Pantl.) X.H.Jin, Schuit. & W.T.Jin. [2] However, this name had already been used for a different species, Platanthera angustilabris Seidenf., so was an illegitimate name. In 2015, an acceptable replacement name, Platanthera stenochila, was published. [1] [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Orchideae</span> Tribe of orchids

Orchideae is a tribe of orchids in the subfamily Orchidoideae. Historically, it was divided into 2 subtribes, Orchidinae and Habenariinae. The subtribe Orchidinae alone contains about 1,800 species. However, although some phylogenetic studies have established the monophyly of the subtribes, the generic boundaries are unclear, with many genera as traditionally circumscribed being paraphyletic or even polyphyletic. Species of genera such as Habenaria and Platanthera have been placed into both subtribes. A 2017 molecular phylogenetic study found that both subtribes did form clades, but did not formally recognize Habenariinae, because of missing genera and uncertainty over generic boundaries. The Asian species of Orchideae, in particular, have been subject to repeated changes of generic placement from 2012 onwards.
